Is Duitse a Bheirin Gra

There is a wonderful sweetness and diversity in this jewel of fourteen songs, presented together for the first time by Sile. Sung in her native tongue, some are songs she heard by the fireside as a young girl in Baile an tSleibhe, which echo her heritage and her homeplace - songs like 'An Draighnean Donn', 'Bridin Bheasaigh' and 'Casadh an tSugain', bringing the likes of Antaine O Domhnaill, Finin O Connluain and Padhraic O Ciardha to mind. This collection is enriched by a store of other songs she learned after leaving home and in school, as both teacher and student.
